Quinta do Mosteiro de São Jorge, a 37-hectare estate made up of a series of buildings of a distinctive nature and a vast area of woodland and irrigated land, located on the south bank of the River Mondego, combines the advantages of a bucolic setting with the proximity of the city of Coimbra and its World Heritage University. The urban part of the property has a built-up area of around 6,500sqm, divided into three distinct bodies, including the cloister, the church, the friars’ refectory, a small chapel next to the monks’ cell, as well as a large 17th-century corner balcony with a magnificent view over the Mondego, baroque tiles throughout most of the building and a painting by André Gonçalves dating from 1751. Although the foundation of the Monastery of St. George is shrouded in mystery, miraculous legends place it in the early 11th century and by the middle of the following century it was inhabited by the canons of St. Augustine. With the exception of the period between the 16th and 18th centuries, when it was in the hands of the Jesuits, the monastery remained in the possession of the Augustinians until 1834, when the extinction of the religious orders meant that the Quinta and the monastery passed into the hands of private individuals, beginning a path of slow and progressive degradation of the building, which brought it to a state of almost complete ruin. In 1999, the Monastery of St. George acquired the Quinta and began a vast and comprehensive campaign of works to adapt it to the needs of the Vasco da Gama University School, which operated there until the end of 2013. Very interesting for a tourist investment due to its location, its built-up area and its historical, architectural and landscape value. #ref:LANE_7193
